Game Profile

Nintendo has trained people's brains and made fitness fun. Now Personal Trainer: Walking gives the simple act of walking a high-tech twist.

This title comes with two Activity Meter™ accessories that record every step users take and when they take it. Personal Trainer: Walking translates the data into interactive graphs that help users set goals and see their progress over time.

FEATURES:

Users toss an Activity Meter into a pocket or purse, or clip it onto a belt, and Personal Trainer: Walking does the rest. The meters record every step taken throughout the day and can be synced to send data wirelessly to a Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi system.

The software converts users' information into fun, interactive graphical displays. These "life rhythm" readouts allow users to discover interesting facts about their levels of activity throughout the day and help them avoid being sedentary. Data for up to four users can be stored on one game card. Users can even clip a meter to a dog's collar and record walking data for their pets as well.

Personal Trainer: Walking invites users to set daily walking goals, but it also helps them to recognize their activity patterns over longer periods of time. It records up to five years' worth of walking data to help users track their progress. This collection of data can motivate people to set new goals and become more active.

Personal Trainer: Walking is the first Nintendo DS game to use Mii™ characters. Users can import their Mii characters from the Wii™ console or create new ones using the Personal Trainer: Walking software. Users can even create Mii characters for their dogs.

The "Walk the World" feature lets users draw pictures on the face of the Earth using the total number of steps they take, while users who have wireless broadband Internet access can see a display of the total steps taken by users around the world on their virtual journey to other planets in "Space Walk."

I purchased this game with a bit of skepticism, but it turns out that it is incredibly easy to use and a lot of fun. It has been a fun way for my family to be more active with a little bit of friendly competition . It has definitely improved my awareness of how active I am (or am not) during the day and as such I am choosing to take the stairs more frequently, choosing to get up an extra 20 minutes earlier to get a quick walk in. So it is a fun way to boost your activity and have fun doing it.
